Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Necks Fresh necks with skin on for best flavor and crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Salt Sea salt works well.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (ground) Use freshly ground for best results.
For the Seasoning
  • 3 cloves Garlic (smashed) Feel free to substitute with garlic powder if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice or Calamansi Juice Vinegar is a good alternative.
  • 1 whole Chili Pepper Swap for bell pepper if you prefer milder flavor.

Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the chicken necks thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry. Marinate with salt, pepper, smashed garlic, lemon juice, and whole chili pepper for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add enough cooking oil to cover the bottom and ensure it's hot before frying.
  3. Place the marinated chicken necks in a single layer in the hot pan. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every minute or two until golden brown.
  4. Remove the chicken necks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a minute.
  5. Serve on a platter, optionally squeezing more lemon juice on top. Enjoy hot with dipping sauces like sriracha mayo.
